Island
Peak Climbing is not so difficult job. Island peak (6,189m/20,305ft) is one of
the main climbing peaks of the Everest Area. The mountain was named
"Island Peak" in 1952 AD due to its striking location in the middle
of the Chhukung valley, like an Island on a sea of ice. It was renamed
"Imje Tse" in the early '80s, though its original name is still more
popular. Climbing Island Peak is well within the reach of any fit and
determined trekkers as it is not a technical, though demanding snow climb.

The professionally
designed Island peak climbing itinerary takes you to the acclimatization hike
to the most popular trekking destination of Everest Base camp and Kala Pathar
first for the close up views of Everest before scaling the peak. Your
historical effort to summit the peak will be rewarded with probably one of the
best panoramic views in the world as you feel Lhotse, Nuptse, Baruntse, Ama
Dablam and Makalu are almost touching the tip of your nose. Descending with a
sense of achievement, our route takes us into many cultural sights; Pangboche,
a traditional Sherpa village; Tangboche, famous for its ornately decorated
Tibetan monastery and Khumjung with Hillary school inside the clouds and
mysterious Yeti scalp
